Parenting as an Inner Work
Private sessions
Working with parents is a sacred work for me.
To be able to support people in the most influential role they can have, finding with them their ways of being more loving, happy and connected in initiating new humans into this world is truly an honor for me.
Why Parenting as an inner work?
As we live with our children, the difficulties we face with them are pointing towards the unresolved places within ourselves.
Our old wounds, the ways we have learnt to adjust to not receiving what we needed, leaving parts of our full self aside or taking on ways that do not suit who we really are.
We carry all of these into our parenting, and our kids sense it. Not knowing another way, they create difficulties to make us stop and reconsider.
If you have come so far and are willing to go deeper into this journey, this courageous act of love for you and your child - first of all, thank you!
And - welcome!
I would be absolutely honored to be by your side.
Walking with you, step by step, on the way home,
the home that your whole family can thrive in.
NonViolentCommunication
NVC teaches me how to heal the conversation with myself and with others, to bring both truth and care to the way of listening and speaking.
In private sessions, this way of listening and relating is bringing so much clarity, and facilitates listening to all voices and hear the pure message behind the words.
It shows ways of inclusion - to move from "either...or" thinking into "both...and" ways of thought, finding creative resolutions for conflicts (inner and outher ones)
And to see any human behaviour in it's core, life serving longings, beyond judments and pre-concepts.
Inner Parenting
Having a good inner parent for your inner child,
is a concept and a journey that shifts our focus to where ongoing healing can occur.
There is a lot of work with the "inner child", but who is the inner adult attending to these children?
How do you treat yourself in moments of pain, anger, frustration? When you are again meeting inner patterns you wish to be over with?
How are you with yourself, what is the inner conversation underneath?
Growing into the adult our (inner and outer) children need, can be a very powerful path - whether you are a parent or not.
I support people on this path with the wisdom of Miraculous Parenting (developed by Shai Orr), weaved with all the other paths I'm walking in.
That's me
That's
my child
And that's my inner child

Holding all of us at the same time
is what this work is all about
Every relationship between a parent and child is a whole world, with its own rules, terrain, dynamics and hidden buttons
And so, in my work with parents I search for the way that would support YOU.
Our shared work can take many different forms;
Sometimes I accompany parents over long periods of time, sometimes just an occasional looking into things together is needed.
You may choose to combine learning in one of my courses with some private sessions, to customize your process exactly to your needs
Sometimes I work with one parent or with both
I even make visits to the family home; this often gives me insights into aspects of the family dynamics that can be hidden from of the parents.
I work online or in person
